    Bad movie !

    This one was a let down , very boring infact I would say . Didn't like it at all .

    Great story, well executed. Definitely worth watching.

    A different from run-of-the-mill romances. Based on Hollywood title "If Only" (so credit for story should go somewhere else), it is a well-made movie. Both Randeep and Shahana have done a very good job of bringing the story to life. Songs are also reasonably good. So I have no idea why the ratings are so low.

    Suggestion: do NOT read spoiler reviews or Wikipedia entry. There is much magic in finding out how it ends.

    Good direction could turn it into a much much better one..

    Sometimes you don't expect much out of the things but you feel happy when you really get more. Ru-ba-ru is such a movie that will give you similar feeling. I always saw something different in Hooda's acting and this movie again proved he is front in the queue to next superstar. Movie starts a little slowly and I will say some sloppy direction can turn off your mood. But after around 45 minutes movie takes a 90 degree turn and transformed into a thriller. I would say better direction could make it a wonderful watch but apparently it's not. In first few scenes, it looks like there is big big mistake in the dialogue sync between Randeep and Sahana. Anyways last one hr of the movie, when Randeep is starving hard to change the fate, brings movie back in the tone. Mysterious character of Kulbhushan Kharbanda as a Taxi driver makes you feel like presence of God or super natural power. The best part of the movie is its ending and it really feel great watching a short movie with some perfect ending. I must say its a must watch movie, not because of its direction, but because of its storyline, concept and some very good acting by Randeep.

    One world "Amazingggggg" !!!

    Well, i was apprehensive about watching it as it's a remake of an Hollywood movie "If Only". But somehow my partner persuaded me to watch. But to my surprise,it was an amazing movie to watch. Movie is very well connected. Randeep hooda is astonishing. I have seen his great acting skills in other movies but here it was all about him. And he has carried movie so well on his shoulders. He was as amazing in the second half as he was in the first half. Movie is very well edited and seriously a good watch and will definitely last an impression like "If only" did. Very very impressed.... Specially... Randeep hooda...thumbs up.....
